THIS IS NOT A DRILL. We're sounding the alarm so another kid in our community won't die. notMYkid is hosting a FREE webinar this Thursday, February 25th at 5:00 PM on the opioid epidemic and rise in fentanyl overdoses. Our very own AZ State Senator Christine Marsh is on a mission to prevent another tragedy since losing her son Landon to a fentanyl overdose nine months ago. Join notMYkid CEO Kristen Polin, Senator Marsh, and Sonoran Prevention Works Executive Director Haley Coles for an eye-opening discussion about life-saving initiatives that are occurring across Arizona and how to protect your family from the heartache and destruction of substance misuse.

PTO Dollars at Work
This week we had 70 students sign up for Saturday Catch Up Day for those who wanted some time to work on missing assignments, make up tests, or just needing a quiet space to get things done. The PTO provided breakfast for all those who attended which included fresh fruit, Egg McMuffins and drinks. All the students were so grateful! Thank you to all who have joined and donated to the PTO this year enabling this to happen.
